Now imagine that in the face of all this, the president claims things are getting better, and the media avoids challenging him when he repeats over and over again that “we are in recovery.” Even less believable, right?

Sadly, that’s what’s happening right now. We’ve gone from the world’s greatest economic superpower, to an Obama economy where Democrat leaders like Nancy Pelosi claim food stamps and unemployment benefits are economic activity. In our final death throes under Obama, we’ve become “The Suicide Economy.” Under Obama, Americans are committing suicide in record numbers. More people are now purposely killing themselves, than die in car accidents, for the first time ever.

There are two conclusions to be drawn from the rise in suicides and state of the economy under Obama.

First, there is no recovery. We are in far deeper economic trouble than the media admits. I can tell you from firsthand experience as a successful entrepreneur and small business owner that understands what is happening at ground zero of the economy. Business is what I do, what I live, every minute of every day. And I can report that it’s ugly (and getting uglier) on Main Street.

There are no jobs. There is no improvement in business. I predict that soon after the holidays (and the election), if the massive tax increases are allowed to take effect, the U.S. economy will suffer a dramatic collapse. The stats mentioned in my lead are warning signs of a coming economic Armageddon. Is anyone listening?

Europe is the real “canary in the coal mine.” Looking at the EU is like looking into a mirror to see America’s future under Obama. Just today we see in the headlines stories about what is unfolding in Europe- unrest in the streets, rioting, violence, one third of the business in Athens out of business, middle class people starving and scavenging through dumpsters in Hungary and Greece. All of this pain and tragedy is caused by big government and big debt. By governments spending far more than they take in. Eventually it catches up with you. Eventually the investors of the world stop loaning you money. And then the crisis hits. All at once, your country goes from a normal existence, to a Great Depression, to a daily struggle for survival. Obama is leading us in the exact same direction as Europe. The sales tax drop in California, the drop in petroleum product sales, the drop in “Help Wanted” ads, the rise in suicides–these are all signs of where we are headed. Obama and the Fed cannot print enough fake money to paper over the truth.

The second conclusion you can draw from considering the social and economic dispair I have mentioned is that the mainstream media is not doing their job in calling out Obama. They know the statistics would doom Obama’s re-election. But there seems to be a total media blackout. You’ll never hear the truth about the state of our economy from the mainstream media.

Just consider if suicides were dramatically up under a Republican President like Reagan at the same time the economy was in free fall, what would the media say? They would not only make the connection, they’d be trumpeting this tragedy in bold headlines 24 hours a day. They would blame the suicides on the poor economy. They’d blame it on capitalism. They’d blame it all the spending cuts and lack of compassion of a Republican President.

So far Obama looks to be getting a pass. But history won’t be so kind. There is only one way to describe what we are all living through.

Someday history books will call this “Obama’s Suicide Economy.”
